Jack's Nightclub

Investments

One night in their apartment, Jack was counting all of his savings and profits he earned over the last year. He counted every single bill he had earned, while the rest of his money was in the bank. "$9,997, $9,998, $9,999, $10,000." He finished, and gathered up the money in a neat, organized stack. Then he clamped each stack together with rubber bands. Evie, who was in the room also, smiled at her fiancé, and slowly walked closer to him. "Counting money again, are we?" She said with a loving smile, and Jack nodded. "I wanted to make sure we have enough this time." He replied, and Evie rubbed his shoulder gently, "Jack, you've made a lot of money this past year, but I don't think it's gonna get us that castle." She sighed and gave him a saddened expression. Jack hated to see sadness in her eyes, "Evie, there isn't enough now, but I have some investments lined up." Evie looked puzzled, and sat down next to him in a chair close to the table, "What investments, hun?" She asked him curiously, and he sighed before he pulled out a piece of paper, and unfolded it. It was a printed photo of a nightclub that was by one of the beaches near Belle's Harbor. "Jack, you wanna put your money into this?" She asked him, "It's a nightclub, I'm gonna be the owner pretty soon, and this will make us a lot more money." Evie shook her head, "Jack, no. You've worked hard enough as it is. I only made $100,000 this year from sewing, mending and cleaning dresses. We just don't have enough for the castle, and we can only pay the rent once every two months." She said sadly. Jack then turned to face her, and gently held her hands, "Evie, I know it's risky. But I'm doing this for you, I want you to have a castle and for your dreams to come true." Evie smiled and blushed, but her smile faded as she rubbed his hands with her thumbs, "My dream wouldn't be complete without you in it though." Jack knew this to be true. "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. Wherever you go, is where I want to be." He said with a reassuring smile, Evie started to smile again, and kissed him on his chiseled cheek, before gently wrapping a hand around the back of his neck. "Come on, you. It's time for bed." She said before getting up and walking to their bedroom. She dressed herself in a comfortable robe, and sat on a chair, applying her face with some overnight makeup. When Jack slowly entered the room, she turned around and gazed at him.

"Well hello there" She said with a smirk, resting her hand upon her cheek. "You ready for bed?" She asked him, and he nodded, "Just about." He replied. Then he went to the bathroom to freshen up and brush his teeth. Evie waited for him impatiently on the bed, crossing her beautiful legs. Then he came over and she turned to lay down on the bed, "It's bedtime, Jack Sparrow Junior." She said in a playfully assertive voice. Jack smirked at her and climbed onto the bed, gently pulling her close to him, "I'm already aware of that, your highness." He said in a mocking and playful tone of voice. Then, she held onto his face with one hand, and pulled him in for a kiss. She couldn't resist him, she just loved kissing Jack on the lips, they were always flavored with a mild, sweet rum chapstick, while hers for tonight were a simple, overnight lip gloss, simple but semi sweet. After the kiss he gently pulled away and brushed aside some of her blue hair. "I love you." He said to her, "I love you so much more." Evie said to him, while getting comfortable under the covers, and Jack brought his body closer to hers. She opened his shirt and laid her hands on his muscular, tattooed chest, and sighed blissfully, before resting her head on his chest, and listened to his heartbeat. It lulled her to sleep, and Jack caressed her hair, before kissing her on her forehead, "Goodnight, my fairest of them all." He said before turning off the light, and falling asleep with his lovely fiancé in his arms.
